Gu Rongqi noticed Cheng Qicai gazing at the distant sea of flowers, her eyes unfocused, lost in thought.
Gu Rongqi asked her, "Have you picked them all?"
Cheng Qicai snapped out of her daze and looked at the number of roses in her arms. "That's about enough. That'll do."
She couldn't hold any more than that.
When we get back, we'll put some in every corner of the room, and there will still be some left. We'll use the extra ones for bathing.
Cheng Qicai noticed that he only had seven roses in his hand and was about to ask him why he only took these few.
Gu Rongqi handed over the flowers, saying, "Here you go."
? ? ?
Cheng Qicai didn't understand, "Why are you giving it to me?"
“I suddenly don’t want it anymore,” Gu Rongqi said.
"No, please," Cheng Qicai refused, taking a small portion from her many bouquets. "Here you go. You're already here, so feel the happiness of others. Maybe you can share in it too?"
Gu Rongqi looked down at the flowers Cheng Qicai handed him. The pink petals were still trembling slightly, and his eyes trembled as well. He hesitated for a long time before reaching out to take the flowers.
Looking at Cheng Qicai's cheeks, still flushed with the taste of wine, he couldn't tell for a moment whether Cheng Qicai's face was pinker or the color of the flower was more vibrant.
The sweet aroma of green apple liqueur is more captivating than the rich floral fragrance.
Cheng Qicai tilted her head slightly, looking at him with a puzzled expression.
Why isn't it answering yet? My hand is getting tired.
The mistiness and moisture in her eyes made him take a step forward. His gaze involuntarily moved downwards, and her rosy, glistening lips made him unconsciously lean down. The object of his raised hand did not seem to be a flower.
"Seven Colors, are you done yet?" Yun Su Ni's voice from not far away interrupted the enchanting atmosphere.
Cheng Qicai tilted her head and responded loudly, "Okay."
Cheng Qicai turned to look at Gu Rongqi and stuffed the bouquet of flowers in her hand into his.
She smiled at Gu Rongqi and said, "Then I'll be going now. Goodbye, Gu Rongqi."
Gu Rongqi watched Cheng Qicai's figure disappear quickly into the distance, and gripped the flower in his hand tightly.
The thorns on the flower branches had been removed, but for some reason he could still feel the stinging sensation in his palms.
Cheng Qicai walked up to Yun Su Ni and glanced back casually in Gu Rong Qi's direction.
Seeing his retreating figure, Cheng Qicai breathed a sigh of relief.
She was so nervous; there was something strange about the way Gu Rongqi looked at her just now.
Like the lake you just stayed in, it is deep and dark. If you accidentally fall into it, it will swallow you up to the bottom of the lake without you even having a chance to call for help.
It was a side of Gu Rongqi that she had never seen before, a side with a sharp and imposing aura. It was at that moment that Cheng Qicai clearly realized that he was a group manager.
At that moment, she had to tense up to face those strange looks and the urge to turn and run away.
There was a suppressed madness in his eyes that was about to burst forth.
Luckily, Yun Suni called her, otherwise her little heart would have been scared to death.
Cheng Qicai thought back and realized that the closest feeling was probably when she was in school, doing something under her desk and staring at the teacher with a death stare.
"What's wrong?" Yun Suni asked.
"Nothing! I was just a little startled," Cheng Qicai muttered to herself. "Let's go, sis."
Gu Liji looked at Gu Rongqi and saw him carrying a bouquet of flowers back. "No way, bro, you really went to get these flowers with Cheng Qicai!"
Gu Rongqi ignored him and pushed his wheelchair toward the parking lot.
Watching him carefully place the flowers in the back, while she herself climbed into the passenger seat on her own.
Gu Liji felt unbalanced and looked at Gu Rongqi with resentment, thinking, "Who is closer to you, this flower or me?"
Thinking about where the flower came from, Gu Liji felt a little worried again.
He's like a parent nagging their child for not studying hard enough. I always say it in a way that's for your own good: "Brother, you shouldn't like Cheng Qicai anymore. If your parents knew, they definitely wouldn't..."
Under Gu Rongqi's oppressive gaze, Gu Liji shut his mouth, and the atmosphere became quiet and silent.
Gu Liji felt that this couldn't be done. If his uncle and aunt found out later, his brother and Cheng Qicai would be in big trouble.
So for the sake of the bigger picture, he still advised, "Brother, you two aren't a good match. The reason you like Cheng Qicai now is probably because you rarely encounter this type in your life. Once you've seen more of them, Cheng Qicai is just a very ordinary person."
"Think about it, the novelty of a relationship can't last forever. So many couples who love each other to the point of death end up as resentful lovers. If all else fails, you can just play around with Cheng Qicai."
He thought about it again and realized that what he said was wrong. "You can just date Cheng Qicai, and break up when the time comes."
"Love is something you can experience once in a while; don't fixate on it until it becomes impossible."
Gu Rongqi interrupted him coldly, "How do you know it's impossible for us?"
The car stopped. Gu Liji saw that Gu Rongqi was staring at him like a predator, and he was the prey. He was about to bite through Gu Rongqi's throat.
His gaze was like a nail, fixing his eyes on the spot, not daring to shift even slightly.
"I...I don't know." He stammered, terrified.
"Then don't talk about your delusions." The calm statement was more like a warning.
Gu Liji was immediately frightened and shrank back in the passenger seat.
But in his heart, he was screaming, "It's over, it's over!"
His brother's belated teenage rebellion is about to begin.
Just a moment ago, people were saying, "Does liking someone mean you have to be together?", but now it's become, "How do you know it's impossible for us?"
